render an exact account of tl.o diff-.-rtnt modifica
tijni? that cane jiiit-e ur.J-.rocs in the jrocesaof
extraction, such aj w practiced in tLi.s colony, we
have been insetuitlv led to extend our btudiea to
the plant its-lf, and have little by little touched
ail the rjutions hel:njsn;; to ir- Li.tory. We
propose in a raj id expose tt reprxnluce at rt,
t!.e notes we have co'locv-J upon joints worthy
to fix ruore particularly thj attention of the
jlanter ; hut, before tak:n knoivn the results
of our obwrvatii.-ns. Fame words relating to the
first development oi the sugar industry here, will
do:, r-r!:apf, 1? out of place.
Originally frorn that nviori now deHjrnated
under the name of Indo-l'hina, the suar cane
wa derived, and waa thcrs exclusively cultivated
from tiie rewute-t antiquity up to the middle of
the 13th century, at which epoch, mcrcliant? car
rying on commerce with Asia, j.netrated the
" countries h-yond the fiance;, from whence thfy
obtiined this precious plant, and n'nee then, they
were not tardy in propagating it in Arabia,
Syria and Egypt: Tt wm introduced at Cyprus
and Sicily at ltd clS? of the following century,
from there it spread socn to Madeira and the
Cmaii-3. and became latr in pain and the
south of France, a favorite object of culture,
liif-orted to St. Thomas and St. Domingo eince
the commencement of the ICth century, it devel
oped itIf there rapidly and yroduced such
results that a considerable number of sugar mills
were tstabli-hed in these colonies in a few years.
It was nearly two and half centuries after
th tmt ucct-ful attempts, that is to 8ay to
wirds the year llif), that it was for the first
time introduced into Mauritius. The culture of
the plant, at first limited to few etat'P, under
taken upon a small scale, made but little progress
arid remained a Ijng time nearly stationary.
Hut sixty years later, this culture, better under
ptyod, made greit progros, aral was substituted
little by little ilr those industries previously
practiced. It now constitutes the most sure and
iCective resource of all the great estates, where
alone its culture is followed.
It is generally believed that the first cane plant
ed in this colony is that commonly known as
white, and which h indigenous to all the inlands
cf the I'aciCc Ocean. This cane, one of the
moft juicy and rich in saccharine matter that is
known, firmed fr a long period, the greater part
ued on the plantations ut different locaties on
Mauritius, but the disease of which it whs smit
ten lor twenty years neceitated a considerable
restriction in its use.
Xiimcnm-t varieties of cane were afterwards
introduced into tliis inland, they have been culti
vated and propagated with care, but they have
not all equally succeeded. The most productive
having been renewed without interruption, are
now thoi threatened with deterioration by which
certain plantations hare already to largely suffer-
tfl j ( .r rr tft. aTj i7Mn rif t.tti4 rF vim wlilli
were introduce! at different epochs and entered
more or less into the culture of the countiy, we
shall speak here only of hix, because they are
now most widely spread, and because they are
exclusively the object of our researches. They
are :
1st. The white cane of Tahiti ;
2d.- The Barnbou or JIatavian cane ;
3d. The f Juinghan or Ribbon Violet ;
4th. The Rellouguet or Java Violet :
5th." The Penang;
Cth. The Diard, with which the white Eellou
guet is generally confounded.
Before the culture of this plant took the extent
it has reached in late years, and before it had be
come the principal, if not unique, source of pro
duct of thi colony, it developed itself with mar
velous rapidity, and without the aid cf manure,
formed on the surface of a rich virgin soil, into
which the roots deeply penetrated, a tangled
bed or mass from five to six feet in thickness.
Hut the imperfect means employed to manufac
ture it did not extract from those luxuriant crops
a much jTofit as they seemed to offer the plant
ers. It is proer to ascribe it to the method
then in practice, a method borrowed from the
Arabs, and scarely modified up to the end of the
last century, and underweut no real ameliora
tions until latent steam and evaj-orating appara
tus enabled them to obtain nearly the same qual
ity of sugar, whatever be the climate or soil that
produced the canes. To spoak only of what
took place in this colony, we do know, for exam
ple, that the planters, placed upon the sea-shore,
had for a long time, thanks to the nature of the
land and climacteric conditions of that locality,
the privilege to manufacture easily a sugar of
beautiful appearance, whilst those situated in the
more elevated and moist parts of the island, not
withstanding their more intelligent efforts and
more oft r plated attempts, never succeeded in
xtracting from their cams, the same quantity or
quality vf sugar. "We shall sc as we proceed
the causes which presided in a manner so deeply
disturbing and oven yet remain insufficiently ex
plained. The advant.ig:s we have derived from a manu
facture better understood and directed have been
however diminished by the inconveniences in
separable from a too great exten.-ion given ujoii
the same soil and with the same process of cul
ture. I do not desire to agitate that question
here whose imiortance is tx great to be treated
in an incidental manner, I simply wish to call
attention to a fact that ou;ht not to be left out
in considering certain modifications attributed to
cane juice. Indeed, I must seek farther to ascer
tain whether the changes and diseases alluded to
as belonging specially to cane, developing in
this plant and in modifying more or less its
organization and appearance, act equally upon
the nature and proportions of the different sub
ittances of which the juice is formed.
The sugar industry of the colonies have suffer
ed, and still do suffer reproach (given with a sort
of delight.) because it is left to the guidance of
blind practice, and disdains the improvements
that science would not be slow to introduce in
the various processes of extraction, and because
the planters, who are :uled by an old routine of
preconceived ideas, might acquire a mere perfect
knowledge of the first principles ef the business
they carry on, were they to profit by the example
offered them by a rival industry in fiurope, whoso
intelligent efforts are crowned with the complet
t success. In a general manner these reproaches
are unjust and can proceed only from an inexact
appreciation of the practice in the colonies. If
it was said with reason, that for nearly thirty
years more (than two-thirds of the sugar con
tained in the cane escaped on account of the im
perfect methods then employed, can we not reply
nw with as much certainty that six-tenths of
the sugar is easily obtained by mills now in use,
thank? to progress realized and of which the ini
tiative has not always been a stranger to colonial
industry. This progress however resides only in
the perfection and radical modifications the
evaporating apparatuses have undergone, which
in this country is found now upon almost all
estates of any importance. Rut the method, which
includes the particular attentions necessary togive
to the juice during the work of cvaj-orati-. n, un
fortunately ha? not yet yielded to the improve
ments of which it is susceptible ; it is now measura
bly what it was at the commencement of this cen
tury, notwithstanding the experiments of whieh it
haa" b?en so often the object, experiments all of
which have failed on account of obstacles cenerally
unknown and not taken into account. If in cuii
srquence of practical analyses made in unfavor
able condition, they have at first exaggerated
lyond measure the importanee of matters that
Combine with the saccharine to f"rm the juice of
the eane, we, in retaliation, have, later, too
much neglected the role some of thse sulstances
play during the process of manufacture. The
ruling scientific idea now in regard to cane juice,
which considers it sugar-water nearly p ure, docs
not appear to us exactly true, and, in effect,
ought not to Ixs hereafter accepted without restric
tion. Juice, in its natural state and under spe
cial circumstances, which I shall soon make
known, presents certain conditions which it is
necessary to thoroughly ap predate if you would
un.-rstand the different results which are often
obtained under the influence of the same pro-cs-ie
of manufacture. That composition so sim
ple attributed touice is then not unly in opposi
tion to the daily praetice at the mills, it is still
at isue (amlraire) with p rolonged and attentive
studies of the cane at different stages of its de
velopment. From that ari?e difficulties and tram
mels in its- manufacture which people have benev
olently attributed to the inexp-erience of the
planter and to his pretended desire not to wander
from the beaten path traced out before him.
Chance, that providence of all new industries,
has tince the commencement of the sugar busi
6css in the colonies, revealed the principal in
dications that have answered in evaporating the
juice, in order to furnish a sufficient quantity
and good quality of sugar. So, whatever may
le the apparatus employed, we shall never digress
from the old method, whieh will remain a necess
ity so Ionir as the present legislation will not
p-ennit us to use animal-black to make refined
tuzar at the first operation premier jet.)
In the jreent state of our market and all
other opposing eventualities whith weigh so
heavily upon the production of the colony, so
comp lete a reform is not realizable. The colon
ists ci t then, like the manufacturers of beet
e'Jg'ir. 1 termine beforehand the grade of sugar
thr TTiirIrr'f rflnn!ri-j :inil fi v in nn ftl.K. .1 11 to mnn-
ner, the quality to make that shall give them the i
greatest profit. Limited in their action and obey-
ing exactions unknown to Kuropean manufac- j
turers, the planters have not to calculate upon
obtaining tfie greatest amount of juice, but the
price the most remunerative that this same quan
tity of juice will furnish them according to the
grades (nuances) sought in the colonial markets,
grades which are far from answering to the sac
charine sweetness of the product obtained. In
euch a situation we must then wait to verify the
great difference in the results furnidied by ex
amining the second sirops coming from the mill,
according to the grades, more or less in request,
which they make; for, as I shall show further
along, the first qualities obtained by our p.resL-nt
process can be re-alized only at a sacrifice of sugar
much preater than is generally sup..oscd. This
loss will be still more manifest as the juice em
ployed will be found in one of the conditions to
which I shall allude at the end of this work.
I commence by examining the degree of press
ure which can lc obtained by the means now
employed at Mauritius, that is to say : to deter
mine the results obtaine-d at the mill, the tliffer
ent species of cane and the influence p.rodueod
upon the particular (intime) composition of the
juice on account of foreign substances derived,
more or les, from the means employed to pro
duce this pressure. (All of which moan, in
plain English, that'the juice is more or less effect
ed by the degree cf pressure used in grinding
and varies the final result.)
Afterwards, I shall exposethe principal physi
cal characters which distinguish the juice freshly
expressed, and shall indicate the particularities,
furnished by microscopic examinations, that ap
pear to me worthy to arrest hereafter the atten
tion of the planters. Secondly, I shall examine
the chemical qualities of the juice and dwell par
ticularly upon certain substances of which the
nature and mode of action have not up to the
present time leen sufficiently determined, and,
finally, in the third part shall endeavor to point
out precisely the alterations undergone by this
liquid during evajKration through the processes
now put in use in this colony.
